Why You'll Love This Bunny in Carrot Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it's like getting two toys in one adorable package. There's something incredibly heartwarming about creating a bunny that has its own little home, and I find the interactive element of tucking the bunny into the carrot adds so much play value. I enjoy working with the combination of cotton and plush yarns because it creates such interesting texture and makes the finished piece feel extra special. The pattern is straightforward enough for beginners but still engaging with all the different components to create. I appreciate how the safety eyes and embroidered features give the bunny so much personality and expression. The size is perfect for little ones to carry around, yet substantial enough to feel like a real treasure. Every time I make this, I'm amazed at how the simple button closure makes the carrot functional and adds to the charm. It's become one of my go-to gifts for Easter baskets and baby showers because everyone falls in love with it instantly!

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this bunny pattern to create unique variations for different occasions and personalities. Try making the bunny in different colors beyond traditional yellow - imagine a soft gray bunny, a pretty pink one, or even a chocolate brown rabbit for a completely different look. You could use variegated yarn for a magical rainbow effect that children absolutely adore.

For the carrot, I enjoy playing with different shades of orange from bright tangerine to deep rust, or you could get creative and make different vegetable homes entirely. A purple turnip, pink radish, or even a green lettuce pouch would be adorable alternatives. The leaf colors can also vary - try different shades of green or even add multiple colors for a more botanical look.

I've added personality by embroidering different facial expressions - sleepy eyes with eyelashes for a girl bunny, or a big smile for an extra cheerful character. You could also add a tiny bow between the ears, a crocheted scarf, or even tiny carrot-shaped appliques to the carrot itself. For seasonal variations, add a tiny Santa hat for Christmas or pastel colors for spring celebrations. The possibilities are endless and each variation creates a unique friend!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not stuffing the head firmly enough before closing which causes it to be floppy and dangle when attached to the body instead of standing upright ✗ Forgetting to insert safety eyes between rounds 8 and 9 before closing the head which requires undoing work or substituting with sewn eyes instead ✗ Making the buttonhole too small or too large in rounds 16-17 of the carrot causing the button to not fit properly or stay closed securely ✗ Not checking if the bunny fits inside the carrot before finishing round 15 which may result in a carrot that's too small to hold the bunny comfortably

Assembly Instructions

  • If using safety eyes, insert them between rounds 8 and 9 of the head with 5 stitches between them before closing the head completely.
  • Sew the head to the body, attaching round 13 of the head to stitches from round 11 of the body. Fill body and neck firmly and sew twice to prevent head from dangling.
  • Sew the arms to the body between rounds 10 and 11, positioning them on either side for balanced placement.
  • Sew the legs to the body between rounds 3 and 4, ensuring to stick the needle in the same place to keep limbs flexible and poseable.
  • Sew the fluffy tail to the back of the body between rounds 2 and 5 for proper positioning.
  • Attach the ears to the top of the head, making a couple of stitches to sew them together at the base for stability.
  • Sew the white muzzle between rounds 8 and 13 of the head, stuffing lightly during the sewing process for dimensional shape.
  • Embroider the nose with pink yarn and eyebrows with brown yarn between rounds 4 and 8 with 3 stitches between features.
  • Sew the white belly piece between rounds 3 and 11 of the body for the complete bunny appearance.
  • Sew the button to the carrot between rounds 13 and 14, ensuring it aligns properly with the buttonhole created in rounds 16-17.

Important Notes

  • 💡All pieces are worked in a spiral continuously without joining or starting chains between rounds
  • 💡Check that the carrot width and height are sufficient to fit the bunny before finishing round 15 of the carrot
  • 💡Crochet tight enough to prevent stuffing from showing through, especially important with light-colored yarns
  • 💡Stuff the head firmly before making decreases and sew the head to body twice to prevent dangling
  • 💡Use the video tutorial link provided for rounds 16-17 of the carrot if the buttonhole construction is unclear
  • 💡When folding and closing arms and legs, ensure you sc through both sides together for a flat, neat closure
  • 💡The pattern can be made smaller or larger by using different yarn weights with appropriate hook sizes while maintaining proportions

You ask,

FAQs

What size will my finished bunny be?

Using the recommended yarns and hook sizes (B/2 for bunny, G/6 for carrot), the bunny will be approximately 4 inches (10 cm) tall without ears and 6 inches (15 cm) tall with ears. You can make it smaller or larger by using different yarn weights with corresponding hook sizes while maintaining the same stitch counts.

How do I create the buttonhole in the carrot?

The buttonhole is created in rounds 16-17. In round 16, you sc 6 stitches then chain 24. In round 17, you sc 6 stitches, then sc 9 chains, skip 6 chains (this creates the buttonhole), then sc the remaining 9 chains. The pattern includes a video tutorial link to help visualize this technique.

Can I use safety eyes or should I embroider them?

You can use either 7-8mm safety eyes or embroider the eyes with black yarn. If using safety eyes, they must be inserted between rounds 8 and 9 with 5 stitches between them BEFORE you close the head. For young children under 3, embroidered eyes are safer as they have no small parts that could detach.

Will the bunny actually fit inside the carrot?

Yes! The pattern specifically instructs you to check that the carrot width and height are sufficient to fit the bunny before finishing round 15. This checkpoint ensures your carrot is the right size. The bunny is designed with proportions that allow it to snugly fit inside the carrot pouch when completed correctly.

What's the best way to make the ears floppy?

The ears naturally become floppy because they're not stuffed. The long decrease rounds (rounds 10-15) create the elongated ear shape. When sewing them to the head, you can position them to droop forward or to the sides. Making a couple of stitches to sew the ear bases together helps them stand correctly while maintaining their floppy character.

Do I need to use plush yarn for the carrot?

While plush yarn creates a wonderfully soft, fuzzy carrot texture, you can substitute regular worsted weight yarn if preferred. The plush yarn does make the carrot especially huggable and gives it a distinct textural contrast from the cotton bunny, but standard yarn will work fine if that's what you have available.
